How the Stage was Set
HISTORY IN BRIEF
1920s: The hotel was built on the site of the former London residence of the Dukes of Westminster, whose family name is Grosvenor.
1929: Opening year. The Grosvenor was the first hotel on Park Lane, today the site of a bevy of luxury hotels.

Park Lane and Mayfair aren't the most expensive properties on the Monopoly board for nothing. This is London at its most elegant, and of course most expensive. An array of top notch restaurants will satisfy the gastronome, while the rich architectural legacy of the neighbourhood is sure to tick all the right boxes for the history buff. Mayfair also has some of the most exclusive shopping in London. For the very finest in classic English tailoring, take a trip to Savile Row.

You can work out at the Grosvenor House Fitness Centre, which is fully equipped with cardiovascular equipment, free weights and a team of personal trainers. There is also an indoor swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi and just down the road from the hotel you can jog, bike, ride a horse or play tennis.

Grosvenor House has some of the best conference and banqueting facilities in town and regularly stages cocktail parties, dinners and conferences. The highlight is the 1902 sq m Great Room, which holds up to 2,000 people. For business people Grosvenor House offers 33 meeting rooms and 5,366 sq m of total meeting space.

Happiness is made to be shared, knew the great French dramatist Jean Baptiste Racine (†1699).
